Congrats! I didn't do it for that long but the freelance life can definitely take a mental toll in various ways. It's good to be away from it for a while to give you a different perspective and I think you're right in reflecting on what didn't work so well in the past and try and put in measures to prevent the same from happening. Sounds like you're cut out for this though so hope this is a new beginning!
Yeah it can be really hard! I was prone to letting work take over my whole existence, dropped all my hobbies and lost myself a bit. If I can strike more of a balance I think it would work out.
